Giveaway open to Canadians.
I’ve been receiving a lot of pitches for baby products lately, and while I am (ten years) out of that phase myself, I thought it would be fun to do a little bit of research into what the hottest baby products are these days. I did a call-out to social media followers who gave me tons of great ideas, and not only am I sharing them with you today, but I also reached out to the companies and am excited to say that ALL of these items are included in a huge giveaway! Yes, one lucky winner will receive all of these products, worth more than $600!
Whether you’re a mom, mom-to-be, or just want to be stocked with baby shower gifts for the next few years, you’re going to want to read on! Click on product names for more information or to purchase.
Chapters Indigo Baby Items
Sure, you go there for books, but did you know they’re a great resource for must-have baby gear too?
Swaddle Blanket (Petit Pehr x IndigoBaby)
Almost every mom who replied to me mentioned swaddle blankets, and this cotton-muslin version (priced at $19.50) is soft and stylish.
Petite Boutique Baby’s First Milestone Mat
New moms love capturing memories to share with friends and family (on social media, of course) and this soft and cute fold-out mat ($15.00) is definitely photo-worthy. Included are three thick card frames to indicate what milestone baby is celebrating (the number of days, weeks or months).
Petite Boutique Watch Me Grow Height Chart
Sure, you could go old-school and mark growth on a door frame, but this is a beautifully-illustrated alternative. This sturdy board chart ($6.00) can also be folded away in the shape of a book.
Matchstick Monkey Dancing Monkey Teether
This fun and flexible teething toy ($29.95) is only available at Indigo! It’s a soft, safe teether with a variety of textures to help soothe your baby’s teething pain. It also has an ergonomic design for babies to hold easily. It’s dishwasher and cold water steriliser safe and available in a variety of colours.
Now moving on to some other great companies…
Norwex
I will never claim to be the most environmentally-friendly mama out there, but I’ve written before about how much I love my Norwex window cloth (you just use it with water – I’ve never found window cleaning easier) and mopping system (dry and wet; I use it on hardwood and vinyl). While those items aren’t part of this giveaway (maybe next time!) Norwex also has a pile of great products perfect for parents of little ones, and Consultant Lara Murray has generously offered this bundle to my winner:
Baby Hooded Towel Set ($42.99)
Bottle Brush with EnviroSleeve ($19.99)
Baby Body Pack ($16.49; includes three face/body cloths that are extra-gentle on skin)
Stain Remover ($11.99; we all know the messes babies can make on fabric!)
Travel Pack of EnviroCloths ($21.99; the antibacterial EnviroCloth dusts and cleans surfaces, including up to 99% of bacteria, with only water, no chemicals We use these in our classroom!)
Reusable Wet Wipes Bag ($19.99)
Odour Eliminator ($18.99, an enzyme-based deodorant perfect for any smelly areas of the home…diaper pail, perhaps? It eliminates the source of the odors rather than masking them, leaving a clean, fresh smell.)
If you’re interested in any Norwex products, I’m running a party here through Lara Murray (choose This Mom Loves Baby Contest). Orders can be shipped anywhere in Canada, and if you spend $95 this month you can order the car cloth (graphite) for just $10, plus there are Laundry Makeover, Mighty Microfiber Makeover and Soft Skin Makeover specials!
My ET Canada host friend Cheryl Hickey designed these beautiful and soft baby blankets which include a special armpiece to cradle your little one. Fun fact: George Clooney has one…because Cheryl gave it to him! (Watch the video below to see his gracious reaction.) This item comes in grey or white and retails for $99.99.
This super-popular zinc-free nappy ointment ($18) from Toronto-based Matter Company forms a soothing protective barrier against wetness. Its emollient shea butter-enriched base pampers with a special blend of herbs traditionally used by herbalists to help nourish and protect baby’s delicate skin.
Thirty-One Zip-Top Organizing Utility Tote
Many baby items are luxuries, we all know, but some variation of a diaper bag is really a necessity. Want a stylish look for a reasonable price? This handy tote ($44.00) has seven exterior pockets to organize all your baby gear, and comes in more than 20 different patterns – winner gets their choice!
Consultant Sarah Tanner can hook you up with a ZOUT (as it’s called for short) or other great items, at this Thirty-One party link. If you’re asked to choose a party, make sure to select “This Mom Loves”! (Choose direct shipping and your items will be on their way ASAP.) Plus for the month of May, with every $40.00 you spend you have the amazing option to purchase a Large Utility Tote for only $12.00 (regular price $44.00). My ECE and I received these as Christmas gifts from a student and LOVE them! (It’s a great teacher gift, especially if you can nab one for 12 bucks!)
Brica Firefly Baby In-Sight Car Mirror
Bring the magic of fireflies to your travels and keep your little one happy with this awesome mirror ($54.97) – that even comes with a remote control! Choose the entertaining mode and your baby is introduced to shapes as patterns of light dance behind the mirror in time to the lively songs.
Belli Beauty Your Best Baby Bump Duo
Two ultra-moisturizing must haves to help prepare your skin to stretch – your skin will love the luxurious moisture and beautiful aromatherapy! ($43.99 for the duo)
Elasticity Belly Oil features scientifically researched ingredients to deeply moisturize and help with stretch mark protection. All Day Moisture Body Lotion deeply moisturizes and soothes dry skin. Best of all, the essential oil of lavender in Elasticity Belly Oil and the essential oil of lemon in All Day Moisture Body Lotion blend for a beautiful, aromatherapeutic, spa-like experience.
My Brest Friend Original Nursing Pillow
This wrap around nursing pillow (approximately $65) secures to the body helping mom and baby maintain positioning and latch-on. The back rest helps you maintain good posture during nursing and prevents sore back and neck, with a firm, flat cushion to keep baby from rolling when nursing. The adjustable, silent-release strap fits moms or dads comfortably and unlatches without waking baby, and the convenient pocket keeps water bottles, burp cloths, phone, and other nursing accessories or items within reach. Plus, it comes in 22 stylish slipcover prints.
The Harmony Patches creator, Dr. May Loo, came up with the idea when her newborn daughter would not stop crying due to probable gas. She applied a mixture of ground herbs using a bandage and her baby instantly calmed down and went to sleep. After years of research and development, she has brought her idea full circle and is now offering Harmony Patches to consumers everywhere. Try the infant patches ($24.95) for colic or for cough. (The winner gets both!)
Coppertone Waterbabies Whipped
This whipped sunscreen ($9.99) goes on easily and absorbs quickly so application is a breeze! It provides SPF 50 broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection and is water resistant for up to 80 minutes. (Be sure to use and reapply as directed.)
